WAYSIDE  FLOWERS. 


PREFACE.  SERIES  III. 


|N  early  August  some  of  the  big  summer 
weeds  have  begun  to  show  their  tall 
heads  along  the.  wayside.     Among  the 

first   which   appear   are    the   common 

milkweed  and  its  near  relation  the  aesthetic,  crimson- 
toned  swamp  milkweed.  The  daisy  fleabane  has  now 
expanded  to  consi.lerable  proportions,  and  the  golden- 
rayed  Rudbeckia  waves  its  head  above  the  thin  grass- 
blades  of  some  sandy  field  too  poor  for  the  farmer 
to  cultivate.  It  is  fortunate  that  nature  lavishes  her 
innocent  gold  where  it  is  not  endangered  by  the 
mowing-machine. 

Now  is  the  time  when  the  wild  rose  spreads  its 
garlands  over  the  old  weather-beaten  stone  wall,  and 
gives  us  entrancing  bits  of  color  harmony  in  pink  and 
gray;   and  when  the  roses   are  gone  the   fireweed 


picks  up  the  keynote  of  color  and  continues  a  soberer 
rendering  of  it  in  pale  magenta. 

There  are  still  some  of  the  daintier  flowers  which 
abide  with  us,  and  the  frail  Sabbatias,  the  Chrysopsis, 
the  milkwort,  and  the  Cerardia  dot  the  wayside  with 
charming  bits  of  pink  and  yellow.     The  purple-blue 
heads  of  lUunella  are  always  in  evidence  all  summer 
long,  and    the  meadow  beauty  continues  to  bloom. 
But  some  of  the  larger  weeds  are  now  showing  their 
strength,  and  before  long  they  will  be  peeping  over 
the  fence  into  the  neighlwring  field,  counting  their 
chances  of  wafting  a  few  seed  where  there  seems  to 
be    more    elbow  room.     White   snake- root,   and    its 
relative,  Joe  I'ye-weed  are  now  in  their  prime;  but 
before  long  the  golden-rod  will  try  to  choke  them  out, 
of  life.     Golden- rod  demands  ai/  the  wayside  ! 

F.  Schuyler  Mathews.
